Switching between Up and Down States in a conductance-based cortex model

Arne Weigenand, Hong-Viet V. Ngo, David Higgins, Thomas Martinetz, Jens Christian Claussen

Abstract

In a recent experiment [1] investigated the onand off switching of bursting activity in ferret brain slices. This experiment is seen as a paradigmatic system towards the understanding of the emergence of cortical slow waves. The basic dynamics can be modeled by a simplified discretized integrateand- fire model having intrinsic inhibitory currents but lacking inhibitory connections [2]. Here we use a conductance-based model to reproduce the spike-burst dynamics and the triggering of Up–states as obeserved in [1].
